Revolution Bike & Bean

Revolution Bike & Bean brings electric-bicycle and traditional bike services together with a coffee bar in Bloomington. The shop's Levy Electric partner page is online-order only, so e-bikes and standard bicycles are the in-store focus.

The business retails and maintains bicycles and e-bikes from brands including Specialized, Scott, BMC, Jamis, and Salsa, and its mechanics are known for careful, honest work: a rider had a crash-damaged bike assessed thoroughly before any money was spent, and another got a warranty part replaced even though the bike was bought elsewhere. Little 500 season brings Indiana University racers through the door for last-minute tune-ups, and first-time e-bike buyers describe patient walkthroughs of the options.

The coffee side means a repair wait comes with a decent latte, and the staff's cycling knowledge extends to route advice around Bloomington. Hours run ten to seven on weekdays with a shorter Saturday, not scheduled for Sunday. Specific electric-bicycle models and service appointments can vary, so contacting the store first is useful when planning a visit.
